YoYoRecreation’s Takumi Yasumoto has a new video, and it’s kind of hard to believe that one player could be so good at both 3A and 4A. The styles are so utterly different from each other that there is little to no transferrable knowledge…and yet, here is Takumi, excelling at both.

And seriously, watch that offstring combo starting at 1:58. Banger after banger after banger!

YoYoRecreation just released NINE videos to promote the upcoming release of the complete redesign of their plastic yoyo, the Diffusion. That’s got to be a record, right? Even better, the videos feature a who’s who of top-notch Japanese talent.

The new Diffusion is set for its first release this weekend at the 2014 Japan National YoYo Contest, retailing for about $35. Check out all of the videos below, featuring Shinya Azuma, Kento Muraoka, Takumi Yasumoto, Hiro Irifune, Ryota Ogi, Yusuke Otsuka, Mizuki Takimoto, Iori Yamaki, and Hiroyasu Ishihara.

Takumi-san shows off some really clean 3A and offstring play in his video part, nailing some pretty difficult tricks so clean you’d think he’s been doing this for decades. Yoyos used are the Aeronaut and Triplet by YoYoRecreation.

Takafumi-san has some absolutely mind-boggling technical counterweight play going on in this video…some great reversals and really impressively dense combos that seem pretty amazingly difficult to hit consistently. Yoyo used is the Y-Factor by One Drop.

44Festival just got videos up from their latest event and daaaaaaaaamn are we jealous we couldn’t be there! There is just an absurd amount of talent in Japan, but just look at this Top Five. Seriously amazing. Be sure to head over to the 44Festa YouTube channel for the rest of the freestyles…there’s SO much good stuff there!
